November 15, 201510 yr I traced a P0440 code to a broken hose nipple in the evap mess near the charcoal canister on my 1998 Legacy L. I see the part I need on the Opposed Forces diagram (part #22), but there is no OEM part number given! I've looked at a couple of online dealers but they keep giving me the old-style evap diagram instead of the new-style. (http://opposedforces.com/parts/legacy/us_b11/type_24/intake_and_supply_system_turbocharger/fuel_piping/illustration_6/) Is this part available? I am tempted to clean it up and just braze or epoxy a new nipple on.
November 15, 201510 yr I'd just clean it up and fix with your choice of materials. Would then coat with some rust preventative. (the link won't come up) Had similar issue but on the canister in front from a 96 2.5. Drilled and epoxied a barb from a spare hose. O.
November 16, 201510 yr Author I drilled out the old nipple and soldered in a piece of copper tubing. Seems to be airtight, but we'll see. Can't test, because I found a crack in the canister! (probably caused by me twisting it during a fight with rusty bolts). Waiting for sealant to dry overnight before re-installing.
